Pravets Golf Club is part of the new Pravets Golf & SPA Resort, surrounding the popular lake of the town of Pravets. The Pravets Golf Course is a parkland style, par 72, course of 6469 m in its length. Its designer is the world famous architect Peter Harradine and his company Harradine Golf, based in Dubai, built more than 200 golf courses in the world.
Golf course Pravets is only 40 minutes drive from the capital Sofia.

Driving range:
The driving range is unique for the Bulgarian golf market also with its lighting for dawn or night golfing. The two-tier grass driving range tees provides the players with a variety of playing distances. The Pravets Golf Course is a parkland style, par 72, course of 6469 m in its length. There are 5 tee-boxes at each hole which provides a fair but challenging test for both high and low handicapped golfers. The course boasts tremendous views of the local mountain and lake framed by the impressive RIU Pravets Hotel.

Signature hole 8: The most spectacular hole is No 8, par 3, with an island green and a stone-decorated bridge connecting the fairway and the green.

Hole 15, par 4 also incorporates water in the game. Low-handicapped golfers can drive a risky shot through the lake. High handicappers could choose alternative ways of attack to the green.

Hole 16: The par-5 16th hole also provides the thrill of playing across the water and is one of the most difficult and challenging holes on the course. Yet, it can still be achieved by beginners.

The biggest green in Bulgaria: Double green The 9th and the 18th greens are united in one double green, a well-known feature from the St Andrews Old course.
